Hello!

My name is Ally Bean and this is my personal blog answering the question: "What up, Buttercup?" I'm here a few times a week-- unless, of course, I'm not. And yes, I wear eyeglasses. Spectacles, if you will.

Amazing! Especially since most poinsettia plants you buy around Christmas don’t even have roots, they’re just lopped off flowers stuck in soil. Good plant, there! I’m curious to see how long it will keep flowering and if it will flower again next autumn.

How have you pulled this off when the flowers I literally just planted by my mailbox are already dead in spite of my careful attention to them?! Wow you’re amazing! And I love the PG Wodehouse quote you have. I don’t find many who love him the way I do!

Thanks for the compliment, but I don’t believe that I’m all that amazing. This poinsettia is clearly an aberration put into my life to ruin my previously untarnished record of killing them by January 31st!

And I agree, Wodehouse is hilarious. Nothing better than Jeeves & Bertie to lift a person’s spirits.

Betty, I think that I could plant this poinsettia in a pot outside during the summer, but if I it put into the ground our clay soil/cold nights would do it in. Still, we’re assuming that I won’t do it in before it comes time to plant it. 🙂
